Having witnessed two competitive grand final games from their junior peers, both men’s teams had plenty to play for while showing off their skills, teamwork and experience in digging deep to contest the ball on the court.

Maroon and Black, with the benefit of four quarters to consolidate the outcome, paced themselves for the first three quarters.

In the final 15 minutes Maroon proved too consistent with their goal shooting, which carried them to a convincing win 45 to 35.
